Hypermobility Ehlers: You have hypermobility (Ehlers Danlos type III).This has a genetic background and about 50 % of your relatives also have it. You are dislocating your shoulders. You need physical therapy to strengthen your shoulders and an evaluation to be certain you have not had damage. Your physicians will guide you through this evaluation.
